For some people, it is (which I think is the point that the OP is trying to make, and I'm not necessarily disaggreing with him). I was explaining why a large percentage of the gaming community believe that gameplay is the most important element for judging a game. Because gameplay (aka interaction) is the defining characteristic for a game being a game and not another medium. Journey's gameplay might not be its strongest point, but that same interaction is what makes Journey a game and not something else. And therefore that same interaction should be judged accordingly. That's all I'm saying. |
I guess I understand what you're saying but I don't understand how it would have any bearing in this discussion...Not to harp on you specifically, as I know you're just explaining the viewpoint, but I see that as the same as saying that motion is the most important part of a movie, because otherwise it would just be a series of pictures. It's technically true, but I don't think there has ever been a debate about whether or not to have gameplay in a game, the debate is how much of a priority does it need to be.

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
